a(n) ______, like Java or FORTRAN, and then converted into the
corresponding CPU instructions.
carries out the CPU's ______ program instructions one at a time.
The hardware and software components that make up a computer network—
ANSWER A(n) ______—allow several people and computers to exchange
hardware, software, and information.
Multiple virtual resources can be hosted on a single computer thanks to a
method called virtualization ( ANSWER ______).
Larger computer classes are more economical than smaller ones, according to
Grosch's Law ( ANSWER ______), a claim that is inaccurate given the state of
present computing hardware.
The most prevalent kind of system software is the operating system ( ANSWER
A(n) ______).
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) - ANSWER a(n) ______ is used to identify
,and access WWW resources.
volatility - ANSWER Cost, capacity, speed, and ______ are important factors
that differentiate main and secondary storage.
A collection of computing resources with front-end and back-end interfaces is
called a cloud ( ANSWER A ______).
qubit - ANSWER A ______ is any material that stores information in several
simultaneous quantum states.
TRUE- ANSWER As network technology has advanced and proliferated, so
too have the number and complexity of network services and components.
RAM: In modern computer hardware, silicon-based semiconductor devices
known as ______ are used to implement primary memory.
mechanical clock - ANSWER A spring and pendulum drive a(n0 ______),
which permits a gear to move one step under the force of the spring with each
pendulum swing.
TRUE- ANSWER : The secondary storage capacity of a typical computer
system must be significantly more than the primary storage capacity.
Photon: A ______ is a particle of light.
Pentium processors: ANSWER significantly enhanced raw CPU and memory
access performance and introduced new features such multimedia processing
instructions, pipelined instruction execution, and support for faster system
buses.
end users - ANSWER ______ uses the majority of application software.
Data can be stored indirectly, like ______, and portrayed as light pulses on the
surface of a DVD.
Physical ANSWER A ______ network is a complicated conglomeration of
data transmission techniques, network hardware, and communication.
server: ______ can refer to computers of all sizes, from microcomputers to
supercomputers.
More data can be carried by optical transmissions than by electrical ones.
, pulses of light- ANSWER Data can be directly stored and portrayed as ______,
like a hologram of an image.
FALSE- ANSWER : World War I was the primary catalyst for the shift to
electronic computing equipment.
distributed resources - ANSWER The vast amount of ______ is the source of
modern networks' complexity.
TRUE- ANSWER The majority of mechanical computation's drawbacks were
overcome by electronic computers.
FALSE - ANSWER During World War I, trajectory tables for torpedoes and
naval guns were calculated using mechanical computers.
FALSE - ANSWER To connect to a network, a computer system needs a
minimum of two hardware components.
FALSE- ANSWER A subatomic particle, like a photon, can be in more than
one location at once in classical physics.
FALSE - ANSWER Complex calculations cannot be carried out by
mechanical computation machines.
TRUE - ANSWER When a user or application can request resources that aren't
on the local computer and aren't controlled by locally installed system software,
resource allocation and access become complicated.
TRUE- ANSWER There is an overwhelming variety of technology and
architectural methods that can be used to construct a physical network.
WRONG ANSWER : One computer can utilize another's CPU or storage, but
not its I/O devices.
FALSE- ANSWER Printers and secondary storage arrays are examples of
devices that cannot be directly connected to the network.
TRUE: Optical processors are more compatible with optical communication
technologies and may be simpler to construct than existing processors.
bits - ANSWER Groups of ______ are used to represent data on a modern
digital computer.
